KEVIN M. KOLESAR

Kevin had just completed his Junior year at Canfield High School. He was looking forward to entering school in the Fall of 2011, as a Senior.

Kevin had planned on attending Youngstown State University and majoring in Business or Marketing.

Kevins hobbies centered around his car, a 1994 Chevy Camaro, that he purchased himself after his 16th birthday.

When he wasnt restoring his own vehicle, he could be found helping his friends working on their trucks and off-road vehicles. His love of restoration was inherited and bolstered by his late grandfather, Jacob A. Parish Jr.

Kevin attended events at Yankee Lake with his best friends as often as possible, a tradition started by his late father, Frank W Kolesar III. He was in the process of rebuilding a 1991 Suburban. He had hoped to one day enter in events.

Kevin was employed at Rulli Brothers Market in Austintown. He enjoyed his job, and being a financially responsible young man. He was blessed to work with his uncle, Frank, aunt, Louise, and cousins, Mark, Michael, Frankie, and Nick.

Special thanks to Michael Rulli and John Annichenni Sr. who both took a special interest in Kevin and treated him as if he were their-- own son.

Kevin, a son, brother, grandson, cousin, nephew and friend, enriched all of the lives of each person he encountered. He was always praised for being respectful and polite.

The Kolesar family would like to offer their deepest gratitude to each and every individual who was present with Kevin during his final moments. It is comforting to all of us, God bless you all. It is my faith that leads me to believe Kevin was welcomed by God, his father, grandparents, and beloved dog, Kasey into Heaven. Sincerely, Jeanne M. Kolesar.

The family will receive friends from 4 to 8 p.m. Tuesday with a prayer service to be held at 8 p.m. by Pastor David Watkins, and again from 10 to 11 a.m. Wednesday at the Lane Funeral Home, Canfield Chapel.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11:30 a.m. Wednesday at St. Michael Church

“Although I was never close with Kevin, I did have a few classes with him and no matter what kind of day I was having he always made me laugh and made my day. Kevin was a truly great kid and my prayers and thoughts go out to you and your family during this time! Kevin will be missed by all when we return to school this fall, but he will never be forgotten and will always be remembered in our school and in each of our hearts! ”
